  • Coatings of the present invention are evaluated against acrylate coatings which do not contain the combination of elements provided by embodiments of the present invention for their ability to resist heel scuff. Specifically, the coatings are applied to a substrate and are evaluated according to ease of scuffing and the ease with which a scuff is removed.

  • Coatings of the present invention are evaluated against acrylate coatings which do not contain the combination of elements provided by embodiments of the present invention for their ability to resist abrasion. Specifically, the coatings are applied to a substrate and each coated substrate is exposed to 320 grit sandpaper in a Byk Gardner Abrasion Tester for thirty (30) cycles. Gloss measurements are taken prior to and after the 30 cycles are completed. Pre-exposure and post-exposure gloss readings are compared and a percentage gloss retention is calculated.
  • Coatings of the present invention are evaluated against acrylate coatings which do not contain the combination of elements provided by embodiments of the present invention to compare the hydrophobicity of a substrate coated therewith. Specifically, the coatings are applied to a substrate and the water contact angle and surface energy of the coated surfaces are measured.

  • the increased water contact angle and the reduced surface energy demonstrated by exemplary coatings of the present invention result in a coated surface that provides reduced dirt attraction, improved cleanability and minimized water-based staining.
  • V An exemplary coating of the present invention (V) is evaluated (ASTM D6007-02 (2008)) against an acrylate coating which does not contain the combination of elements provided by embodiments of the present invention (CVI) for volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions. Both coatings are applied to a thickness of about 51 ⁇ m (2 mils) and cured with a UVA 1.103 J/cm 2 - UVC 0.171 J/cm 2 .
  • the data described in Table 5 (below) demonstrates that coatings of the present invention provide a greater than five-fold reduction in VOC emissions from a wood substrate coated therewith.
  • Table 5 Coating V CVI Formaldehyde Concentration in Air Ppm BLQ 0.03 mg/(m 2 h) 0.003 0.017
  • An exemplary coating of the present invention (V) is evaluated in a FLEC test against an acrylate coating which does not contain the combination of elements provided by embodiments of the present invention (CVII) for total volatile organic compound (TVOC) emissions after twenty-eight (28) days. Both coatings are applied to a thickness of about 2 mm.
  • the data described in Table 6 (below) demonstrates that coatings of the present invention provide a greater than three-fold reduction in TVOC emissions from a resilient sheet coated therewith.
